Eisenhower High School in Blue Island proudly announces that 24 members of the 2022 senior class have been named Illinois State Scholars by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission.
Roughly 10 percent of the state’s high school seniors earn this recognition each year. In order to earn Illinois State Scholar honors, students must:
- attend an Illinois State recognized high school;
- be a United States citizen or an eligible noncitizen;
- be a resident of Illinois;
- take the ACT, SAT I, or Prairie State Achievement Exam during the third or fourth semester prior to graduation from high school (typically between September 1 and June 30 of the junior year);
- rank in the top one-half of his or her high school class at the end of the third semester prior to graduation from high school (typically as a junior in their sixth semester); and
- graduate from high school during the academic year in which the student is selected as a State Scholar.
Eisenhower seniors named Illinois State Scholars include Jireh Badie, Edwin Cardona, Nathaniel Collins, Lucia Hernandez, Adolfo Lopez, Jr., Britney Martinez, Maglio Martinez, Izabella Nieves, Sebastian Rios, Ariana Rosales, Brianna Solano, Jania Southall, Edgar Suarez, Nayeli Villanueva, and Dylan Villegas.
